As we shake off winter’s chill and embrace the fresh energy of spring, it’s the perfect time for travel advisors to do the same. A new season means new travel trends, refreshed opportunities, and the chance to revitalize your business strategy. Whether you’re looking to update your marketing, fine-tune your client list, or tap into emerging travel opportunities, here’s how you can spring into success and make the most of the season ahead.

 Refresh Your Marketing Strategy

Spring is a season of renewal, making it the perfect time to give your marketing a fresh look. Start by reviewing your website and social media channels to ensure your branding, promotions, and contact information are current. Update your online presence with vibrant images and engaging content that highlights trending destinations for the season. Adding new client testimonials can also help showcase your expertise and build trust with potential travelers. 

Beyond updates, consider expanding your marketing efforts to new platforms. If you’ve primarily relied on email campaigns, now is the time to experiment with short-form videos on social media, like Instagram Reels or TikTok, to showcase exciting spring and summer travel destinations. Running a seasonal promotion or highlighting limited-time travel deals can also help generate new leads and convert inquiries into bookings. Take advantage of Avoya’s exclusive promotions and supplier offers, such as luxury escapes, cruise discounts, and resort savings, to provide added value to your clients.    

Reconnect and Refresh Your Client List

Your client list is one of your most valuable assets, and spring is a great excuse to check in and re-engage past travelers. Send a personalized email or message to your clients with exclusive deals or curated travel recommendations tailored to their preferences. Keep the tone warm and friendly rather than sales-driven, such as: "Hey [Client Name], spring is here, and I couldn’t help but think about your love for warm-weather getaways! Are you planning a trip this season? I’d love to help you find something amazing."

To maximize the effectiveness of your outreach, consider segmenting your client list. Identify your most active travelers and those who haven’t booked in a while, then customize your messaging to suit their interests. Frequent cruisers will appreciate hearing about new sailings, onboard perks, and upgrades, while resort lovers will be excited by offers like up to 65% off Caribbean stays. This is also the perfect time to introduce a referral program, encouraging past clients to recommend your services to friends and family in exchange for a small incentive, such as an onboard credit or an exclusive travel perk available only through Avoya.  

Embracing New Travel Trends and Opportunities

As spring travelers start planning their summer and fall getaways, it’s crucial to stay ahead of industry trends and position yourself as an expert in emerging travel opportunities. One trend to capitalize on is shoulder season travel, where clients can take advantage of better pricing and fewer crowds by traveling in late spring or early summer. Highlight destinations offering great value, such as European cruises with 2-for-1 fares or luxury river sailings with exclusive perks.

Beyond savings, travelers are also seeking unique and meaningful experiences. Sustainable travel is gaining popularity, with eco-friendly resorts and small-ship cruises becoming highly sought-after. Additionally, solo and small-group travel is booming, as more people look for curated, personalized adventures. By staying informed about these trends, you can better serve your clients and introduce them to exclusive experiences that align with their interests.

Education is another key way to stay ahead. Use Avoya’s training resources, supplier webinars, and professional development opportunities to expand your expertise in new destinations, upcoming ship launches, and limited-time promotions. Keeping up with industry developments ensures that you can confidently recommend the best options to your clients while maximizing your earning potential.
